Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 303 The Young Madam of the Mu Family Might Be Alive

The Third Prince has been acting more low-key and reserved recently, as if he is deliberately hiding his edge; while the Fourth Prince is like a sinister, cunning, and venomous snake, silently enduring but actively planning something in secret.

At the same time, after a long time and hard work, the Mu family's ancestral home, which carried the family history and glory, was finally renovated with the generous assistance of Yan Wuque and the strong support of the court!

"Girl, this ancestral home has been renovated, and it's time for your uncle and I to move out. But you will have to take care of the affairs of the many servants in this mansion. Your uncle and I are both military men, and we are not very good at such delicate work as selecting servants. Especially now that your uncle is in this condition, the servants who serve him must be carefully selected." As the old man of the Mu family spoke, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was troubled by many worries.

"Grandfather, don't worry. You and uncle have just returned, and our family hasn't had a good time together yet. As for the servants, the housekeeper in the mansion has already arranged everything. You can just relax." Yun Yuxi said softly with a sweet smile on her face.

Hearing his granddaughter's thoughtful words, the old man of the Mu family nodded slightly, but then he sighed deeply:

"Alas... I'm afraid that from now on, it will be difficult for our Mu family to keep out of trouble as before. Now that the Mu family has transformed into a new noble family, those ambitious princes and the civil and military officials in the court will not miss such an opportunity to win over and make friends with them. I'm afraid that in the days to come, it will be difficult for our family to have a few days of peace and leisure."

After saying this, the old man looked worriedly into the distance with a sad face.

"Grandpa's worries are not groundless! It's a pity that my uncle's illness needs urgent treatment as soon as possible. However, after these few days of diagnosis and treatment, my uncle is not very cooperative, so the effect is very limited. But what makes people feel a little relieved is that my uncle has obviously become much smarter and quieter than before. At first, I thought it would only take half a month for my uncle to fully recover, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will take at least more than a month." Yun Yuxi said softly with a guilty look on her face.

"Girl, it's quite good to have such progress! Maybe when your uncle returns to our Mu Mansion's old house, he may recover faster due to the stimulation of the environment. I wonder if you have noticed that your uncle doesn't seem to recognize anyone at the moment, as if his memory suddenly disappeared out of thin air." The old man of the Mu family said slowly.

"Yu'er, don't be too anxious. I once met my uncle, but when I saw him again, he had no impression of me at all. This shows that my uncle is not just stupid this time. It is very likely that he has suffered a huge shock and has become stupid and lost his memory."

Yan Wuque, who was sitting nearby, saw Yun Yuxi's worried look and hurriedly spoke to comfort her, taking over the words of the old man from the Mu family.

"Now that everything is ready, I will go back now," the old man of the Mu family decided firmly.

Yun Yuxi did not stay any longer. She understood that the old house carried all the memories and recollections of her grandfather, so she nodded and personally sent the Mu father and son home with Yan Wuque.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Mu family. Chi Yan pushed the wheelchair skillfully. Yan Wuque flew and landed steadily on the wheelchair. The old man of the Mu family and the uncle of the Mu family walked out of the carriage. The old man of the Mu family looked at the four words "Duke of the Guardian State Mansion" under the brand new red silk. He did not feel any joy, but felt heavy instead.

No matter how great his achievements were, they could not bring back his family. Although life on the border was hard, at least the family was together and together. On the way back to Beijing, his daughter-in-law and grandson died at the hands of robbers. His Mu family was now dwindling in population, so no matter how powerful he was, it would be useless.

Yun Yuxi felt the old man's sadness, walked up to him, supported him, and slowly walked into the gate. Even the foolish uncle Mu was exceptionally quiet, following Uncle Zhao like a well-behaved child.

The old steward of the palace in the mansion, together with the people selected by the pawnbroker, stood in a row and respectfully welcomed the old man of the Mu family.

These people have been screened and are absolutely loyal to the Mu family, so the monthly salary they receive is naturally high. Those who are chosen feel that they have met a good family.

Not only did they respect the old man of the Mu family, but they were also very respectful to Uncle Mu's current state, which made the old man of the Mu family very satisfied.

The butler asked the princess, saying that the Mu family was short of a butler and he couldn't arrange one, so he asked Yun Yuxi to arrange it, the old man of the Mu family said with a smile.

The position of the housekeeper is extremely important, after all, all matters of the mansion need to be properly managed by him. And one of my former subordinates was injured on the battlefield and has now returned to Kyoto to recuperate. After much thought, it would be better to let him take on this position. Those people who were brought in from outside are really hard to be completely trusted.

"Yes, grandpa, actually I was just about to mention this to you, I never thought that we would be so in tune with each other! Well, then, it is decided. Your Highness, please accompany grandpa to chat, I will go and see how the situation is with my uncle." After saying this, Yun Yuxi walked out of the room.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Uncle Mu standing quietly under the big tree in the yard. At this time, Uncle Zhao walked up quickly, bowed respectfully, and then slowly said, "Young lady, since the young master came back, he has been silent. Even when his favorite snacks were placed in front of him, he didn't touch them. He looked as if he was worried about something."

Hearing what Uncle Zhao said, Yun Yuxi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he whispered to comfort him:

"Uncle Zhao, in my opinion, my uncle may have behaved like this because of the scene. Although my uncle has not yet fully recovered, this is where he grew up. Maybe when he steps on this familiar land again, he will feel an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.

However, due to his physical condition and other reasons, he is temporarily unable to express this feeling clearly. But you don't have to worry too much, maybe this is a good thing for your uncle. Maybe under the stimulation of this situation, your uncle can recall some things from the past. "

"Ah! If the young master recovers, he will definitely not let go of the girl from the Fang family. The two of them were going to get married anyway..."

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. I will take care of this matter. I have already sent people to look for the girl from the Fang family. We will have some clues soon," Yun Yuxi said with a smile.

"The young mistress and young masters of the Mu Mansion were killed on the road. The master is heartbroken. I often see him sad. Miss, you must avenge the Mu family and find out who is behind this. Who is so vicious that he doesn't even let young children go?" Uncle Zhao held his head in pain.

"Uncle Zhao, did you see the bodies of my aunt and cousin with your own eyes?" Yun Yuxi asked excitedly.

"No, but given the situation at the time, I was afraid that the young lady and the young master were in great danger. The master also tried to look for them, but was hunted all the way until Master Jing found us. I was afraid that the master would be sad again, so I didn't dare to mention it in front of him."

"Uncle Zhao, I suspect that my aunt and cousin may still be alive. Please take good care of my uncle. I will arrange for someone to look for them." After saying that, Yun Yuxi turned and left.

In the carriage, Yun Yuxi leaned her head on Yan Wuque's arms and spoke sadly about what Uncle Zhao had just told her. Her eyes were moist and Yan Wuque could only hold her tightly. Yun Yuxi fell asleep unknowingly. Yan Wuque looked at the tear marks under her eyes and felt heartbroken.

Yun Yuxi was still asleep in Nuanyu Pavilion, and Chi Yan pushed Yan Wuque back to the study.

Yan Wuque summoned the secret guards and ordered them to set off immediately to look for the Mu family. He also asked Jing Zichu to go in person and take the people from Wangsheng Tower to search together.

At dusk, Yun Yuxi woke up and saw Yan Wuque reading a book on the small bed. Yan Wuque seemed to think that Yun Yuxi was awake, so he looked up and the two of them looked at each other, and then they said in unison, "I have something to tell you."

The two of them burst out laughing at the same time, and then Yan Wuque spoke again. Yun Yuxi was really moved. She didn't expect that Yan Wuque had already sent people to look for the young lady of the Mu family.
